Today, he spoke out against a flood of online reactions that emerged after recent news in his legal situation. Well-known dancer Jani Master, having spent several months in jail a few months ago and later released on bail in connection with claims of harassment involving a 21-year-old female colleague, is presently ongoing legal proceedings. In response, although not directly, Jani Master posted on X to address his worries about individuals disseminating incorrect facts regarding legal outcomes for self-interest. Jhansi, a television host and a member of The Voice of Women (VoW), took to Instagram to inform that Jani Basha, who challenged a suspension ruling from the Telugu Film Chamber in District Court, did not prevail in his case. Jani Master critiqued those who manipulate facts, suggesting they operate under the assumption that the public will trust their versions without scrutiny. She described the verdict as a pivotal ruling that highlights the importance of workplace safety for women and the necessity of backing institutions that uphold the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) rules. He stated that the real story would be exposed once the true facts of the verdict are made available and expressed confidence that justice would ultimately prevail. He alleged that the focus on his legal battle related to the Union President elections was being misrepresented and unfairly connected to other topics. His latest venture, *Sankranthiki Vasthunnam*, is on track to surpass the impressive ₹300 crore milestone this week. He acknowledged that the character Bulli Raju had potential for greater development during that segment, highlighting a missed opportunity for additional humor. Anil explained that his main priority was on portraying Venkatesh’s emotional struggle between his wife and ex-girlfriend. He believes that had they explored more comedic scenes featuring Bulli Raju, the overall impact of the movie would have been enhanced. In a recent interview with Bharadwaj Rangan, Anil candidly expressed his disappointment over not incorporating more comedic elements in the second half of the film, which stars Venkatesh. Anil Ravipudi is basking in tremendous success, with a string of hit films under his belt.

Adherents of the political group interpreted it as a jab at them, prompting another wave of condemnation directed at "Laila." In light of the escalating situation, Vishwak took to Instagram to clarify his view. Vishwak emphasized that a movie should not be blamed due to the mistakes of an person. During the pre-launch event for "Laila," comments made by Prudhvi sparked backlash among fans of a certain political group, leading to the surge of the 'Boycott Laila' movement on online platforms. The divisive language used on social media hurts everyone. I am an actor—not a politician. I sincerely regret any hurt caused and have apologized. In his post, he posted, "I can’t continuously second-guess every post I share about my film. Let’s stop overthinking and instead focus on creating harmony. In response to the growing backlash, actor Vishwak Sen and producer Sahu Garipati conducted a public statement to offer their apologies. Please don’t confuse me with political debates."
